Can't have Sir Erec tbh. Pic FTW if he runs!

Benie Des Dieux surely the closest to a 'banker' other than Altior. Although I still think Willie will pull a fast one and chuck Laurina in there.

Buveur D’Air in the Champion Hurdle. Question marks over the rest of the field. I love Apples Jade but I think she’ll come up short on the day. Can’t have Laurina at all - how she can be that short based on what she’s beaten in her 4 races is laughable. If she’s good enough to win a Champion Hurdle I’d be amazed.

The best thing about the likes of Laurina is that the mugs will pile into her and Buveur D’Air will go off a crazy price. Load up and enjoy it lads, he’ll get the 3 in a row.

Yeah although I adore Samcro seeing the money pile in for him that day in Newcastle and end up being the favourite over the reigning double CH winner was bat**** crazy. Seems like Laurina will cause more of the same. And Apples Jade will always be popular in the market on the day.

I'd have doubts over BDA but on the day he has to be a bit of value.

If apples jade and laurina were to race against verdana blue tomorrow I'd imagine nobody would give verdana a chance. She beat bvd and his form in beating melon in last years race is hardly outstanding. I'd give both mares a chance against him.

Verdana blue at kempton and melon at cheltenham where given very similar rides to come and beat buveur d’air.
They sat in behind buveur d’air and he was in front way too soon in both races, they waited until as late as possible to challenge him and we know what happened.
A Hold up horse is his danger but the difference in this race will be he won’t be in front too soon with apples jade there so I think he will blow them all apart.
If the rain falls he won’t be beat.

Duel champion hurdle winner still seriously under rated, can see him drifting on the day.
Hope Apples Jade runs as she will set the race up for him and also make the price for him.

Agree. Mister Fisher is a serious player in the Supreme at 12/1.

Think he will get it tough, if he wins it be 3 in a row. Very tough task, the great istabraq done it, will BD?

If you fancy Elixir Du Nutz you’d have to fancy Thomas Darby to put in a performance at a big price.

The Big Bite is double Thomas Darbys price snd was only beaten a length or 2 by him and he was giving TD weight as well. 40/1

Good shout with The Big Bite actually. It’s an average enough Supreme to be honest, there isn’t any superstars in it that we know of. Something at a price will be punted off the boards on the day I think and and I’d say both EDN and Thomas Darby will shorten up before next Tuesday. To me, they’re the two I want to keep on side at the current prices.

I like Monalee a lot. hope the trainer chooses the Ryanair instead of the GC.

Looking at the Stayers PAISLEY PARK is my NAP of meeting.
Can't have Faugheen (although would love to see him run well), Supasundae certainly has place claims but can't see it beating PP. Apple's Jade and Samcro probably won't run and then your into Black Op and Killbricken Storm next in the betting.
Think PP will hack up

FatRat

Castafiore looks a fantastic bet for the Close Brothers. She is in some form lately and only on the up. Easily handling Crucial Role and Jerrysback and a great run in behind Bags Groove who aint doing to bad himself lately. She hasn't been hit as hard as I think those runs should've put her. She's on a great weight for how she has been running lately, has made serious progress recently.

Is top notch not going here now, you would have to be slightly weary of him on there early season clash when top notch wasn’t very fit and he came there traveling the best up the straight until fitness told.

Yeah forgot Top Notch but just think PP has got better with each run and his win last time sets the standard for me.

No chance he goes Gold cupping. De Bromhead said it after Gowran that he’s not a 3 mile chaser and 2m 4f is his optimum trip. He’ll line up in the Ryanair alright.

Great shout if she runs. She's a lovely jumper, she takes lengths out of them at every fence. Is she definitely going though? It would not surprise me to see her turn up at Aintree, especially considering she ran at Kempton last week. Although if she turned up, I would have a few quid on her.

My two cents on her would be that willie and ruby know she will have to be every bit as good as Annie power to be winning a CH and if they are sending her there then they think she will be. Disappointed from a pocket point of view had been backing her for the mares since the autumn but that's the chance you take with ante post

Yeah I’d agree. People say it’s the owners call but I read a piece in the Irish Field with the owner and his words were ‘Willie wouldn’t run her if he didn’t think she was good enough’ so WPM could easily run her in the Mares if he so wished. He’d have every excuse not to run her in the Champion but still seems more than happy to go for it. Not sure if she’s a betting proposition mind.

Saw a clip of the trainer talking about his horses chances. Looks to be his best chance (not saying much though) and he says it'll either be the Close Brothers or the JLT if it cuts up because of her mares allowance. JLT is a bit wishful though I reckon and would hate to see her go though just because she saves a few pounds. No harm in the NRNB anyway.

He also pointed out that she would love some rain which is also good news. If you look up Charlie Longsdon on youtube the clip should be there somewhere.

I am backing all the Paul Nicholls runners blind. He is on fire. When he is good he is very very good. He still managed to squeak winners out of the last few seasons when I think everyone would admit he has seen better times.

Paul Nicholls is an exceptional trainer. I don't think he gets enough credit for keeping his staying chasers sound and getting them to line up at Cheltenham year in year out. It really is an incredible achievement. When you consider how many Gold Cup winners never make it back to Cheltenham (or sometimes the racetrack), Nicholls having Kauto Star and Denman line up in 6 & 4 Gold Cups and 7 & 6 festivals in a row respectively really merits an awful lot of respect. I don't fancy Clan Des Obeaux, but no better man to have him cherry ripe on the day than Nicholls.
I'll definitely be watching his other runners closely next week, given it's 2002 since he went without a Cheltenham festival winner.

Talking to the former owners of Jers Girl in the pub all day JP told them Fakir will win and there is nothing to touch Buveur Dair"will win as it likes" lots more to print over the meeting but backing Nicholls is a complete disaster for the uneducated.Lots more to print but that is the very small synopsis off today by the serious Intellectuals.
